Calvin Klein drags Kendall/Kim; praises Bieber
Why Calvin Klein Finds Much of the Fashion Industry to Be 'Disappointing' in 2016
 
But what does Klein think of Bieber and Jenner's campaign? "I think they're very good," he said, when asked about Bieber's in particular.
And Jenner, Mallis asked? "You know, I'm really not that familiar with it," he replied. "I'm honestly not." There's silence, then laughter. "It's not the kind of thing I would have done, even today. Justin Bieber, yes."
"When [I say] I like Justin Bieber in the Calvin Klein Underwear [campaign], it's because I like him — not because he's got millions of followers," he explained. "Now, models are paid for how many followers they have. They're booked not because they represent the essence of the designer, which is what I tried to do — they're booked because of how many followers they have online. I don't think that, long-term, is going to work. I don't think that's a great formula for success for the product you're trying to sell." It's not all bad news, though, so long as you prioritize the artistry. "However, if you take really exquisite photographs of the right people in the right clothes in the right location, and you put it online, that's fine," he said. "Just putting any old clothes on Kim Kardashian, long-term, isn't going to do a thing."

He didn't. He sold the company nearly 14 years ago:
In December 2002, Klein sold his global brand to Phillips-Van Heusen, the U.S.'s largest shirtmaker, for $400 million in cash, another $30 million in stock and up to $300 million in royalties. His involvement with the homegrown label he started in New York City in 1968 then curtailed, tapping a 39-year-old Francisco Costa to succeed him as the principal designer for the women's Calvin Klein Collection.

I kinda agree with him in one aspect, a lot of Instagram models nowadays are getting bookings because of their followers more so than their look. But I don't think Kendal fits in with them, she's a lot more interesting to work with (looking at some of her jobs over the years)

I agree, singers > talentless social media stars.

Where is the ****ing lie? Same thing is happening in the music industry. New artists are signed because of how many followers they have. It's so stupid.

All I see is tea. It's all about nepotism, who you know, your connections, how much followers you have...
